Meta Description + Keywords SEO


Hi, I was told by the expert in SEO that keywords appear first in the landing page html code, and therefore they appear in the Google results instead the description. How can I change the order in the code to avoiid this unfortunate event?


Thanks!

Hey there, I would try adding everything using meta tags instead - I find Google will always update to reference those. This is a handy tool for this: https://metatags.io/ 🙂

Hi Zoe!
I know this is a 3yo post but I’m having similar issues.
My site’s meta description in Google seems to take the H2’s and not the info I submitted in the Page Properties.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

You might have to reach out to Unbounce Support as that is odd – but I still think if you add the meta script to the page, it will override this and allow you to set the snippet.

You can do this manually – https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/snippets

(It may be not showing based on what your description/keywords are as well – Google tries to show the most relevant info in the snippet).

Thank you very much Zoe for your answer.

It is curious though that my Landing Page DOES show the keywords in the search results, instead the description… So I erased the keywords just to see what happened, and now the description was shown.

Any thoughts? 🤔

Best regards,

Have you checked this when doing a Google Search? My Unbounce pages don’t show Keywords – they show the description.

However, you can try to influence the snippet shown by using meta tags – https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/79812?hl=en

i.e.
<meta name="description" content="A description of the page" />
